Paengaroa-based company Comvita has used its Manuka honey expertise to develop a natural skincare range.

Huni aims to increase sales from existing Comvita customers and attract new customers to the brand.

“Huni is an ideal addition because it enables us to use New Zealand UMF® Manuka honey in a way which will appeal to new consumers to the brand in New Zealand and off shore. It also enables Comvita to tap into the growing demand for natural skincare,” said Comvita CEO Brett Hewlett

The UMF® 20+ Manuka honey used in Huni was supplied by Comvita beekeepers in the North Island.

UMF® (Unique Manuka Factor) is a scientific measure of the antibacterial levels found in active Manuka honey. This type of honey was chosen because it is the purest, most sustainable type of active honey available and is known for its moisturising properties.

“We wanted to offer women a natural skincare range that utilises the strong natural benefits of UMF® Manuka honey to minimise the first visible signs of aging,” said Comvita general manager skincare Leigh Kite.

Huni is not just good for your skin, but good for the environment too. The natural ingredients we use are from sustainable sources and free from parabens, sodium lauryl sulphate detergents, artificial colours and genetically-modified plant materials.

The Western Bay of Plenty’s most influential women got a glimpse of the new products at Comvita’s Visitor Centre on Thursday 1 November.

Women across the Bay of Plenty and beyond will be able to buy Huni in health food shops and pharmacies within the next four months. Meanwhile customers in Australia, Hong Kong and the UK will be able to buy Huni within the next six months.
